Would aragon's spm (simple puppy menu), based on ae menu, be suitable? Maybe simpler to implement? I mention it because it's independent of any wm existing in the Puppy: this menu is created based on the listing in /usr/share/applications.jemimah wrote:There is a script, flwm-menu that will build the menu like that. But it depended on jwm and I haven't updated it for icewm. The ultimate problem with having multiple window managers is the time it takes to generate all the menus.musher0 wrote:

It would be nice to have the regular puppy menu appear on screen with a right click of the mouse.
The icewm menu is not bad because it's only one file. But if you're generating a new file for each menu entry for Rox-Menu, Flwm-menu, and also creating a RoxApp for all the menu entries - well this requires some thought. The snap-merge script that saves your stuff in Pupmode 13 is really slow, and that becomes very obvious when you're trying to copy down all those files generated by the menu scripts.
I'll think about it some more.
In any case, the role of the programmer is not to cater to every user's whim of fancy, ( Specially mine! I'm already too much of an individualist ! )
Maybe just give pointers as to how this ot that can be done in the environment you chose to provide initially.
BFN.
